That will be the cause .... our work vehicles in the Territory spent all their time off bitumen patrolling the fences and the tracks, and weren't that old with damage that I couldn't comprehend for the lack of miles on them ... it was just the constant pounding of the corrugations

3 days, I knew the cracks were there. It's my first patrol. Just seeing if it was common

No its not common hope you brought it at a price that can justify some repairs
Drill a small hole at the end of the crack to prevent it going further if thats possible.
Do you know someone with a mig welder?

Yeah picked it up really cheap at auction. I know a few welders that can put a plate patch but I want to take the guards off to check how far the crack goes.. how hard are the guards to take off?

Not too hard really .... it is only a few bolts at the top and bottom, and screws in the wheel arches.

I think that mine has a couple of similar cracks. I'll take a couple of pics and post them up.

GU7 I think. It's 2011 Model, TB48 Gulf Spec so it's left hand drive. Hence the differences inside
